Transcript

So we just need you to do three TikTok videos. Okay, and where would these be posted? We'll use it for all our ads, uh, Facebook and TikTok, Instagram, everywhere. And how long will you be running them? We'll be running it for about five to six months depending on the ad performance of the videos. Okay, I will have to send you my full breakdown, but we're looking at around $500 to start with. For three videos? Why does it cost so much? Well, you will be using my content for ads, right? And this would lead to sales for you. Now, let's say you only paid me $50 for a video, but you generated $10,000 from it. Doesn't it seem a bit unfair that my face, my creativity, the content I created, and the ideas in that video help you to generate that much sales? Well, yeah, but we still have to pay our other teams. Another thing is you're no longer going to pay for a full day shoot for your ads. The rent for the studio setup, the photographer, creative director, all of that will technically be me. I see, and we do save a lot from that already. And lastly, I will be tied to your brand for about five to six months. So that means the opportunity to work with other competing brands or indirect competitors would be lost for me until the end of the contract. Okay, I get it now.
